He must have felt it necessary to defend something
Pete, no one here has used profanity, and I know you're not talking to me like that...right?
And all of you are aware of the Spell Check button, but elect not to use it I assume.
Lighten up! It's going to be High 70's to low 80's this weekend and I have full fuel!

Re: On behalf of the so called "BORED" members
The Mother's Day weekend event was not my first choice. The board made a decision and I have to support the decision.
The NIOC is a form of a business. For a business to function properly, you must have a plan or a system in place. Currently, the NIOC does not have a system in place to reliably inform members of any changes with posts on OSO. We do have other systems in place, that we as a Board feel are reliable.
The NIOC website is, in fact, updated by a voulinteer that is not even a Board member. It is my feeling that There is not a reliable system to get info from the Board to the public VIA website. That is somthing we are working on. We are planning a system similar to the one the CPC has in place. Our problem is, it costs money and time. we are suffering from a lack of both.
If you would like the most up to date info, call the Hotline 1 847 289 REEF (7333). For now, I feel this is the most reliable, up to date source we have.

There is now a system and individual in place to notify members of changes and events on OSO. Bruce asked me to post the Fox Run and now everyone knows about the event and the scheduled time.
Unfortunately the NIOC website is not updated. It has the calenders under the Activities page and they only list the monthly General Meetings and Board Meetings. Since the club is already paying for the site, it is the most effective way to schedule events. I'm sure everyone appreciates the volunteer that handles the website, unfortunately, they may not have been informed of the schedule of events or changes. If that person needs help from others, just ask.
Paying for another method to inform the membership is not required, and would be a waste of membership money. Providing an updated website, posting on OSO, the hotline (if updated) and an email list, the information will get out.
As of 8:51 PM the REEF Hotline still contains info regarding the Andy Frano Run on May 21, therefore, I do not believe it is the most up to date info as you stated.
Try OSO!!

I have been trying to be neutral and humorous about this whole thing, but enough is enough. If you have a personal problem with one particular member, exchange e-mails and take it up with each other. Right now, all you are doing is making the whole club look badly airing your dirty laundry in a very public forum. No one is going to want to join a club full of "Desperate Boat *****es". (that reference is for the ladies)
Calendars were given out at the last meeting. I'm sure the board is working on sending it out to all those who missed it.
Thank you Kirk for offering your free time to post info on OSO while the website is being updated. I'm sure the (whole) board is greatful for your time and effort, but please, stop busting their balls.
Yes, the boat club has been together for a long time. Closer to 7-8 years, But the current board is still fairly new and learning to work together. Please give them a little slack.
I'm done. EVERYBODY, please have a safe weekend. I hope to see you all out having a good time.
